Guess he finally lists his real height now that he can be the shortest heavyweight champ in 100 years.

This was a hint that the BoxRec height for Toney is wrong.

BUMP

He was listed as 5-11 for most of his career. Must have been a typo.

Toney may say now he is 5-9 to make his victory seem more impresive. Its all advertisement.

They even covered it in a pre-fight interview with Larry Merchant. The guy is not and never was 5'11"... but whatever.
